The Hurricanes have received a boost ahead of their clash against Super 15 leaders the Chiefs, with Cory Jane and TJ Perenara returning to the starting lineup on Saturday.
Both Perenara and Jane return from ankle injuries while left wing Julian Savea will also start after missing last week's loss to the Crusaders due to illness.
Perenara has impressed at halfback for the eighth placed Hurricanes, scoring four tries in the opening seven rounds.
Reg Goodes could make his Hurricanes debut as he has been named in the number 17 jersey. Goodes suffered a shoulder injury in the team's last pre-season match making him unavailable until now.
Also on the bench, Jack Lam will return after two weeks out because of a concussion in the game against the Sharks.
